Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought Halti's (size 1) today for both my miniature schnauzer and my welsh corgi/poodle mix. They are both pullers when we walk, especially at the beginning of walks and if they get close to dogs or other people as they are super friendly and want to meet everyone they meet.
The Halti's were easy to put on, I tried them on in the store, and easier to figure out than the Gentle Leader head harness, which I also attempted to try on the dogs. They weren't too expensive ($18 each), but they appeared to only come in one color, black, which isn't too bad.
I was surprised at how well the dogs took to having them put on while I was in the store. It was slightly different in the car. They were easy enough to put on, but my schnauzer, especially, started trying to pull it off almost immediately. I was able to get him to stop through verbal commands.
I left the Halti on in the car so that when I got home I could try it out with a leash. They both hated it! I was expecting this honestly, so it was only a minor frustration. They kept putting their paws through the loop created between their collars and the Halti's emergency clip (in case the Halti slips off it is still attached to their collar). They managed to pull themselves out of the loop around their muzzles, but they collar part managed to still hold them.
I walked them around individually a few times in the house after placing the loops back over their muzzles. They obviously didn't like being led around by their head, but I don't like being pulled around on a walk either. :) They were responding quickly though and there was very little pulling when they walked with me.
I took them on a long walk shortly there after and it worked like a charm. It felt like power steering for my dogs, there was zero pulling by either dog and only occasionally would the schnauzer paw at his muzzle, but even then it wasn't much.
I do have to mention that I unlooped the emergency strap from the halti and attached it in such a way that they couldn't get their paws into it, this stopped them from being able to pull the muzzle loop off and kept them from getting a paw stuck too.
Overall I think this is a fantastic product, it worked exactly like it was supposed to. It would be nice if the dogs liked it too, but they didn't seem too upset once we were out walking and since they only need to wear it on walks that works for me.
I would recommend this to anyone with any size dog that pulls when walking or jogging as it really does work. I have tried every other kind of harness and collar (except the anti-pull around the chest type harness) and none of them worked for me at all as my dogs would rather choke themselves to death than not pull. I am sure they will get used to it over time and learn to get excited when I pull their Halti on as it means it's time for a walk.
